together with NOMI & AINO we made a soundtrack CD and LP for the cinema film "DECKNAME JENNY" ! i will be available mid march 2018!

we need to talk...

a few years ago we had written something about ours but also about the general situation of bands and musicians … financialy, mentally.. and that at that time we had already considered how it can go on and whether.so… “somehow" it continued ... and we thank all those who made this possible!we then founded 2 more projects (woodloop and dubvasion) and had the chance at the theater bielefeld to make music for a play - reasonably well paid for 2 years.but ... you could say we are broke. as a band, but also in person.

Overall, the situation has not changed for the good in terms of salary and demands.the social stalemate comes also to us. In the capitalist speech we are indeed "retailer“, and their situation is all bad , small shops fight for survival against amazon etc ... and we are similar, no matter how radical left we are, we have to pay our food and rents.

we are musically special, that's great, but also ... not so easy to join the mainstream. bands like fine „Feine Sahne Fischfilet“, Irie Revoltés“, „Beginners“ ... who used to play in the afternoon program while we headed the little festivals for a time ... are now big stars while we just stayed in a way where we've always been in a special way.

so… DIY OR DIE can quickly become DIY AND DIE ...

the sound carriers and t-shirt sales are simply too less over the channels that we use - unlike in the past, they generate now too less real money ​​that could support us, it is more or less cost-covering.festivals are so busy with so many bands on on tour who must play to survive cause of the lack of selling records. This is no longer „just a call“ in the style of "hey should we play this year again?“…we are happy to do what we do and celebrate this year our 25th birthday .... but if manage to continue next year ... there are real doubts… we both will be this year half a century old… and if we can still do guts pie earshot the next 25 years… at the age of 75 ... well ... we will see…

At the moment we are missing everything that a band is getting alive these days, so we just realize that in many ways we are still in the 90s ...:- money money and again: money !!! - to survive and pay off our debts.(by the way: you can always send something to us: via paypal: post@gutspieearshot.de)

(Comes weird for some, but ... that's really supporting us ...)- a booking agency and logistics that believes in us and professionally supported because DIY booking becomes more difficult.- related: concerts ... also abroad.- a fee from what we can pay more than only for the gasoline and the rent for the bus ...- we could need an own bus so that you do not have to pay 80 euros per day…- More and more simply good advertising that many people come to the concerts- at many places: more audience ... - there are places where it still works super cool and that's great !! but without intensive advertising it does not work in many places.- someone who transfers our website to wp (for free or low cost if possible …)- professional video, photos ... because we realize that today is just standard to be able to play iwo, invited to festivals etc ...

and much more...Ideas are welcome !!and we hope that we will survive this depression…we are happy if you share this!
